Hey everyone! Ive just joint this forum thingy you have here...
You see, i just bought myself an AUII Sedan (Forte), and i am currently looking at doing some mods. Eventually i would like to have all of the following done: - Bodykit - Stereo System - Wheels - Performance Exhaust/Intake - Performace chip - etc....etc.... I am in melbourne, so if people can recommend me places to go for these, it would be much appreciated... Also, any recommendations on what parts/manufacturers are the best would be awesome! Thanks |

Performance in Melbourne - no brainer. Casper has already answered and you would be mad to go anywhere else based on JMMs PROVEN results (eh, Laminge?).
Body kit = AWC (site sponsor - click on the link at the top of the page) Stereo gear - JB Hifi, Strathfield, Autobarn etc sell and install stereo gear (or buy from them and install yourself) Speakers - all are 5X7. Do a search on 5X7 on AFF - there is a thread somewhere listing speaker options. Mods - any chance of making the speaker option thread a "sticky" in AUFalcon section? Wheels - the choice is yours. Legally you can go to an 18 x 8 on an AU2 Forte (2" larger diameter and 1" wider than standard). The Wheel King, Bob Jane, even Ford all sell a wide variety of wheels (though Ford only sell Ford ones). Shop around - use the net to find the wheels you want and then comparte price. Or just wait for a set to come up in the For Sale section of the forum. You can now get a set of second hand BA XR 18s for around the $1500 mark. etc, etc - ebay! Quote:

Just a side note though, technically you "could" legally fit 20" rims as the AU had an 18" option and the law states 2 inches larger than the lagest for that model (AU1,2 and 3 are all classified as 1 model). Trying to get that past an insurance company is a different story and JC is right..18" is more practical.

Actually, to be honest, I know of a couple people who have driven their cars all the way from Sydney and Adelaide so that it could be fitted at the JMM workshop. They never regretted it.

Omega Automotive who are the Battens Performance dealer also look to be a good choice. I haven't had work done there but their service is top notch.
